"There has been very little to cheer for with the Rangers this season, so it's nice to see Perreault not only put up points and play his best game of his young career, but to take the team on his back and carry them through the third period. He, Mika Zibanejad, JT Miller, and Will Borgen turned it on, providing the heroics."
"If there are more games like this coming from Perreault, then he will be the steal of the century for the Rangers from the 2023 NHL Draft. The passing game was so evident in college with Will Smith, and Ryan Leonard, but you take a look at the goals he scored, and you could see a future where he's potting 25-30 in his sleep."
"Perreault has not always had the counting stats playing with Zibanejad and Miller, but it was clear he was becoming more and more comfortable each and every game he's played on the top line with them. The release is quick, accurate, and the amount of looks Perreault is getting every game now is growing."
The Rangers lost to Columbus in overtime, but the loss highlighted positive developments for the team. Gabe Perreault emerged as the standout performer, scoring 2 goals and recording an assist in the third period to spark a remarkable comeback from a 4-0 deficit. Alongside Mika Zibanejad, JT Miller, and Will Borgen, Perreault demonstrated increased comfort and chemistry on the top line. His performance showcased improved goal-scoring ability beyond his college passing prowess, with a quick and accurate release generating more scoring opportunities each game. Igor Shesterkin struggled defensively, allowing uncharacteristic goals including the overtime winner. Despite the loss, Perreault's development suggests potential as a valuable draft pick for the Rangers.
